Walking Wounded

I am injured again in the line of duty - Mom doesn't like it when I fight, but SOMEONE has to defend the property from that sneaky gray feline with the white feet who thinks he can just walk across my yard any time he wants! It's nothing serious, just a scrape on the bottom of my left back foot - but it does enable me to walk with a limp (when I want to), so I have been looking pitiful and milking it for all its worth....lots of extra snuggles and some antibiotic cream from Mom and Face, but as yet no one has seen fit to make me some "get well" grits!

Grrrrrrrrrrr.....I want grits!!

I want my grits!!

Well, this just sucks, life is no fair! My friend, John, used to make me grits for breakfast every morning - just the way I like them, with real butter and jam - and now he's moved away and no one will fix me my grits....and Mom won't let me use the microwave to do it myself. (Besides, I am Mad-Eye Louie, I shouldn't have to fix my own grits, that's what the two-leggers are for!)

Sigh....I really miss John....and not just for the grits.

Meet Mad-Eye Louie

I was born in June of '07, and had 3 brothers and sisters...our mamacat died when we were only 6 days old, and we were raised by our two-legged, no-tail Mom, so I really think of her as my mother. When I was a little kitten, she said I looked like a fruit bat....ME? a fruit bat? No way!....but now she calls me her big handsome boy, which I think is a much better description, if somewhat understated! Mom says I'm a Siamese dressed in black, which I guess means I talk a lot and am kinda prone to those sudden bursts of energy the two-leggers call catfits.

I have 6 other feline companions (more about them later), but except for Harley, I'm the king of the house....and I'm undisputed king of the yard, patrolling the deck and woods and protecting us from intruders. Naturally, this involves some fighting - I love a good fight! - Mom gets upset, but I've got a lot of cool scars....in fact, that's how I got my Mad Eye!

I'm here at last!

Hi, everybody! I'm "Mad-Eye" Midnight Louie, the coolest cat you'll ever meet! I finally talked my Mom into making me a blog, and I'm ready to rock the internet - I'm a dude with ideas and opinions and now I can share them with the world!

This picture is from when I was just 5 months old - it took me another year to convince Mom to let me on the computer, but eventually, she just couldn't resist a face like that....who could??
